Famous quotes containing the word people:
“Just as rotten wood cannot be used for pillars, so base people cannot become masters.”
—Chinese proverb.
“War is bestowed like electroshock on the depressive nation; thousands of volts jolting the system, an artificial galvanizing, one effect of which is loss of memory. War comes at the end of the twentieth century as absolute failure of imagination, scientific and political. That a war can be represented as helping a people to “feel good” about themselves, their country, is a measure of that failure.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“He must have killed a lot of people to be so rich.”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)
